A federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed by a group of imams against US Airways and a Minneapolis airport can proceed.

U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery said in a 41-page opinion late yesterday that the imams, who say they were discriminated against when they were removed from a flight last year, have a plausible claim that their constitutional rights may have been violated.

The imams “have adequately stated a claim” that airport police may have “seized plaintiffs in violation of their Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures,” Judge Montgomery ruled.

Those Imams have a lot of nerve to sue the airlines. I wonder what the Prophet Muhammad would say about frivolous lawsuits and greed. Those are things you expect from an “infidel,” but not a group of distinguished Imams, especially “flying” Imams.

The fact that something like six different passengers complained to the aircrew about the behavior of the Imams. Supposedly there was anti-American talk and loud praying.

I will never hesitate to report suspicious Islamic activity anywhere. You can call me racist or whatever you want, but Americans have a right to be suspicious. If it were Irish Catholics trying to kill us all the time, I would be suspicious of them as well. Get over it “flying” Imams…and regular Imams too.

An airline crew faced a rebellion when they told passengers they were going to fly on a jet that had lost its wing tip in a runway crash.

The SriLankan Airlines customers had been on the Airbus A340 a day earlier when it sliced through a wing of a stationary British Airways 747 at Heathrow, delaying departure by 24 hours.

So they were amazed to be boarding the same plane next day for the ten-hour flight to Colombo.

When the cabin crew then admitted there was still a 5ft wing tip missing, there was “a minor revolt” as seven passengers demanded to be let off the aircraft.
